What's this?

Either I am living in a parallel universe or there is a time delay factor going on here! Why do I keep posting a guess to the previous quiz when someone else has already guessed it? Answers please on a postcard...

I noticed the same thing in another thread. There were no replies, then mine posted 2 minutes later with the identical reply above mine. Someone's gaslighting us LOL.

Are you guys maybe not refreshing the page? I've noticed sometimes new posts I make aren't there unless I hit refresh.

Well it looks like a flame inside it... but that could just be an illusion.

That's what we call a sterno cup.

Just to be technical, a tea light is a tiny hockey puck of a candle, and a sterno is a larger aluminum cup of gel fuel.

Much different oxidation rates and temps.

I'm goin with sterno.

I had to look up "sterno cup" and "tea light". The flame emanates from such a device. Probably the latter.
